The change is length and width of the Sertoli cell nuclei in cytologic smears of testes with depopulation of the seminiferous epithelium

The appearance of the Sertoli cells in cytological smears of tests with depopulation of the seminiferous epithelium is described. The mean values of the lengths and widths of the Sertoli cell nuclei in smears differed significantly between the depopulation and the control group (p < 0.01).
